So you get snow in the winter where you live? I have been mowing my lawn for over a month now. One one of the down sides to living in paradise.

I cut my weeds for the first time last weekend.

Northeast Indiana. Lazy swine that I am, I don’t mow until the neighbors start mowing and they just started.
I have done first crabgrass and fertilizer application.

“I have been mowing my lawn for over a month now. “

We mow all year around here.

I live in Florida, stop mowing in November, start again in April.

I have a ten-year-old Black & Decker Lawn Hog, and a hundred-foot extension cord. In the fall, I slip the handle out of its insert in the platform, hang the mower base up by its back wheels on the wall, and put the handle on a hook by the base..

In the spring I take it down, insert the handle back into the base, plug in the cord, and - Voila! - instant start.

Just be careful not to mow over the cord.

Maintenance - replaced the blade once, replaced the on-off switch, replaced the wheels (hubs on those plastic wheels wore out). Oh, and replaced two cords.

Cost of oil changes - zero.

Cost of gasoline - zero.
